This maybe long so bare with me!
I'm thinking of applying to the court to grant my SO Parental Responsibilty over my 2 children (once he's here and settled)
It would give my SO legal power to authorise medical treatment and sign off on school trips and what not. It wouldn't take that responsibilty away from there biological father so legally the children would have 3 parents. Im thinking of doing this because if something happens to me, he would still have rights to them. He loves them like his own children (and they love him, call him Canadad and DadDad ) and i know my ex (bio dad) wouldnt let him see the children in those circumstances (he hates my SO, blames him for our break up). Also, my ex is moving away soon and i think it's only a matter of time before he disappears for good, and if that happens and something happens to me unless i have a legal document stating what i want to happen to the children, they could end up in the care of the local authority.
In order to do this, my ex would have to agree (Given how he feels about my SO he'll refuse) or we'd have to go through court to obtain it (lengthy process and will cause drama between us and the ex)
I feel it would be in the best interest of the children to proceed with this but i just wanted to get some advice from my fellow members with children.
